Connection problem

[Guest]

I can't connect to Yahoo Game or Yahoo Chat I have just made a clean
installation of Windows Home Edition. Can anyone figure out what setting
that I might have that could be preventing me from access Yahoo Game and Chat
Server. Also I only have 128 MB of memory is it possible that I don't have
enough, because I used to be able to access the Yahoo Servers with the
Millenium edition which uses less memory.

There certainly can be a couple factors involved here, Leon, and I would
first look at increasing your RAM. You're at the very slim edge of having
enough, and if your system shares memory with your graphics setup, you're
really in big trouble.

Now, as for the Yahoo site, take a look in Internet Explorer (assuming
that's what you're running) and see if you have a small beige line
underneath the address and toolbars. The XP SP2 security prevents
"automatic" download of anything without user approval. You need to
right-click and then follow the instructions when you trust the site.
